After murdering a man, a contract killer Young-Ook hides out in a
mysterious mansion called Snow Heights. There, he meets a creepy family
and their young son simply called "Son." Despite warnings to ignore
"Son," Young-Ook can't help but feel bad for the way the family treats
him. Eventually, Young-Ook decides to help "Son" run away from Snow
Heights but not before he discovers a shocking secret about the family!

Donning a disguise complete with a pair of antique glasses for an
impending (and potentially embarrassing) doctor's appointment, Bun-Nyuh
never expected to find true love in the waiting room! But when the
handsome young physician seems equally floored by her, a romantic
escapade might just be around the corner. However, love at first sight
is not all it seems... especially when you're looking at the world
through someone else's glasses...

Police officer Choi is a regular at the Antique Gift Shop, but as he
rushes off with a gift for his new girlfriend, he is killed in a
hit-and-run accident. His only relative is his younger brother
ChanYoung, who's only just been released from prison. ChanYoung always
thought he was the troublemaker of the pair, but when he explores his
late brother's house, he discovers the upstanding officer may have had
a few skeletons in his closet...or rather, a mysterious little girl
hiding in his bedroom?!

When a Nepalese goddess appears at the Antique Gift Shop, Bun-Nyuh is
taken in by the beautiful woman and her knack for sales. Sensing that
her freedom from the antiques is near as the money rolls in, Bun-Nyuh
leaves the goddess in charge and begins planning for her life away from
the shop, despite Mr. Yang's protests. But the goddess's sales come
with strings attached, and those strings will pull Bun-Nyuh back to the
heart of the shop where a new darkness awaits...

When a mermaid princess's hopes to marry her human prince are squashed
by the domineering, morbidly obese ex-ballerina to whom the prince
appears to be tied, she decides to return to the Han River. But she's
beaten to the punch by the prince...and then the ballerina! What grave
secrets about these two does the murky water conceal...and will either of
them make it out of the river alive?

Seattle police psychologist Daphne Mathews has her hands full with a pregnant, addicted, runaway teenager, a murder victim's brother whose strange behavior unnerves her, and a deputy sheriff she once treated who's now stalking her. She's frightened enough to move in with Detective John LaMoia, a development that doesn't exactly thrill Lou Boldt, their boss and Daphne'sex-lover. But Lou's too busy with his own cases to brood over John and Daphne: the recent disappearances of two local women, and the death of Billy Chen, the nephew of Mama Lu, an old friend and a powerful figure in Seattle's Chinese community, which appeared to be an accident but turns out to have been murder.The only thing the disappearances and murder have in common is location; all three victims were last seen in a part of downtown built over the Underground, a dark and dangerous warren of buildings abandoned after the fire that leveled Seattle more than a hundred years ago.

While Seattle's Underground has been the setting for several mysteries by other authors (Earl Emerson, J.A. Jance), Pearson makes the most of its creepy-crawly atmosphere in a gripping thriller whose solid plotting pulls all of Daphne's, LaMoia's, and Boldt's cases together. It also wisely reconfigures the personal relationships among the three central characters, which bodes well for their future adventures in this long-running series (Middle ofNowhere, The Pied Piper). --Jane Adams
